It is about this time last year that we were in the latest stages of planning the Africa trip. After a two week stay in Namibia, recounted in detail in the previous post, we crossed by car into Botswana.

Last week-end, encouraged by the very nice weather forecast, we decided to jump in the car and explore a bit in the North of France. With no prior bookings we decided to head to Deauville and Mont Saint-Michel for a short break. We were initially set for Le Havre to watch the big ships sail …

A trip from March 2010, one of the best so far. Also, the trip in which I managed to wake up at 7 A.M. every morning, without an alarm. That never happens to me :). Unfortunately, I have no good picture of the High Line, one of the highlights of the NY trip. We spent …
